Just to continue the very very good list that b2c started...
I sometimes write the name of someone I care about on my cutting spot. i don't want to hurt anybody else, and this reminds me of a good way NOT to hurt anyone.I knit, which is figety. keeps my hands busy. knitting needles are blunt.
I play my violin sometimes. it passes the time. the E-string is particularly excrutiating if I haven't been practicing regularly enough to build up my callouses.
I go for a walk.
Last night I woke up and wanted to do something bad to myself. instead I got the clippers out and cut my hair. don't worry, I didn't do a britney spears. actually it's a cute pixie. kind of sticks up around my cowlick, but that gives it charm. maybe I'll go platinum later on today...
if it's pain she's after- try plucking eyebrows, or leg hairs. it's socially acceptable, and even has a certain aesthetic value. hurts like a MoFo too.
preparing and drinking a pot of tea. it's kind of soothing and relaxing and keeps the hands busy.
